Well, MG Siegler did.Siegler reports that Google is "about" to release a native client Gmail for iPhone. According to sources, Google has already submitted a native Gmail application to Apple for review, and may come very soon.

 

Perhaps the biggest issue with using Gmail through the iPhone’s native mail client is that Gmail is not Push-enabled. Yes, you can hack it to work through Exchange, but then you lose other functionality, such as the ability to star messages via flags.

The native Gmail app will likely bring other key functionality as well: like Priority Inbox and one-click starring of messages. Other possibilities include some of the stuff Google is about to roll out for Gmail proper: like contact icons, better threading, and deep searching functionality. Maybe there will even be some Google+ integration, which Google is also hard at work on for Gmail.

In case you don’t know, you can use Gmail on iOS in two ways: The first is to use the mobile version of client on Safari or to sync it with your Mail.app. With Google now providing the third way, this way would be the best of them.

Android already had that native Gmail app since it’s beginning. Now iOS users are really excited to get it too.
